Cono Sur Single Vineyard Chardonnay

Country: Chile Region: Casablanca Valley

Varietal: 100% Chardonnay

Category: White Wine Style: Dry

Producer: Cono Sur 

Description:
Cono Sur was founded in 1993, with the vision of producing premium, expressive and innovative wines. Selected for its red clay soil and maritime influence, the Quebrada Alta (High Ravine) Block is located just 7 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean in the Casablanca Valley, where the Humboldt Current lowers the water temperature significantly, making it one of the coldest regions in Chilean viticulture. Exposure to coastal breezes and morning fog that covers the vines each day slows the grape ripening process, leading to a smooth, flavourful wine. 

Tasting Notes:
A bright, young, greenish-yellow Chardonnay with good aromatic intensity boasts citric notes such as grapefruit and lime as well as pineapple and white flowers. On the palate it is concentrated, fresh, smooth and well balanced with persistent acidity and mineral and saline hints. 

Food Pairing: Pairs best with seafood, fish, white meats, cheeses, pastas, nuts and salads
